5Pointz is wiped clean overnight, and will soon no longer exist. The graffiti mecca for street artists from around the world will apparently turned into luxury apartments, and is scheduled for demolition by the end of the year.
Everything gets replaced in New York by the new, and more profitable.
Old goes, new comes, and so we lose part of our artistic and cultural heritage.

This is a real shame.

I wish I had photographed and filmed more of it.

Here is a small project I worked on at 5Pointz.
